I have a friend who has a monstera and the leaves are drooping. Is it water or sunlight that it needs?

I would say a picture would help but they like to dry out a little between waterings so less water more sun and she might want to check the roots also.

mine gets droopy when it hasn’t had water in a while, definitely check the soil a few inches down before watering!
